All over but the shoutin

Over solely the Shoutin In the excerpt from the memoir All Over barely the Shoutin , the reference Rick Bragg highlights the moment when he paid a final lambast to his fathers deathbed. In the excerpt, Bragg briefly described his childhood, narrateing his father abandoned his wife and sons, and left them to beg, and scrap for food and money. He saw his father as a drunken monster, not caring for anyone but himself. Initially when Bragg arrived he was hesitant.He did not know the person his father had become and worried the erson he still was. Bragg was perplex about the state of his father. His father was physically unidentifiable and was not the humans he had remembered. Bragg thought his father would be young, spruced up nice and cleaned up very well. This was not the case. Bragg described his father as the walking dead, damaged and poisoned. He was no longer the man and monster Bragg had despised. Instead, a brittle snake skin of a man.In the lay off Bragg left with three gifts a rifle, case full of books from his ather and a understanding of somewhat forgiveness towards his father. After reading All Over but the Shoutin, there was a lack of acknowledgement father to son. Although his father was fragile, Bragg cute so badly to question his manhood make him feel the incommode he once felt because of him. He wanted his father to say he was sorry and admit to his wrongdoings. Braggs needed his father to acknowledge his mistakes. I sensed Bragg knew a coward could and would never do so.
